Also is very close with Trevor Bauer. From a baseball standpoint he seems like a reasonable #4 or #5 option for us, with upside if Katz can fix him, but I'm not going to enjoy rooting for him. ? What happened with Cueto? How much will they be paying Clevinger?
November 28, 20223 yr Now is the time for Kopech to grow the hair long again because, wtf Clevinger. Pretty sure a long haired Kopech is a Cy Young candidate.

With limited money to spend this move does very little to move the needle. a lot of teams would love to have a Clevenger as a 5. better than Valasquez, better than Martin, who can now become Vasquez. don't get me wrong, i'd love to have Cueto also and go with a 6 man rotation but there to cheap to do itand i think there"s a team that will give Cueto a 2 or 3 year deal. At 37, the Sox won't do that. I'm good with Martin taking Vasquez's spot and maybe get rid of Ruiz.

I agree, as long as he doesn't turn out to be version of Kuechel. Remember, we also need to 2021 Lynne and Kopech to advance to a numbe 2 or 3. Quintana may flop this year, If Clevenger can be Lynn Light, we'll be ok.

Sox just bet on the guy that is half a decade younger and has more upside.

November 28, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, SoxBlanco said: Did I miss an official announcement of the dollar amount? Morosi said more than $8 million. That could mean he got $8.5 million or he got an option with a buyout. It's definitely a weird way to phrase it.

He apparently had an interest in playing in Chicago and/or for the White Sox, so it’s possible he took a little less than other offers with less desirable locations.
November 28, 20223 yr Random Thoughts: On paper this could be a good move for the Sox, when healthy he’s put up solid numbers and is better than dumpster diving guys like Vince Velasquez. And at eight million (instead of the projected 10 million) that helps the Sox budget But… Like a member of the mainstream media told me tonight this guy has a lot of baggage than goes beyond just an anti-COVID vaccine stance. Like so many other Rick Hahn moves this could completely blow up in his face. And what happens when JR tells him to cut his hair?

Jerry isn’t telling Kopech to cut it and he sure the hell isn’t telling Lynn to shave ?
